Consensus among Detroit media is that Tuesday evening's sign-and-trade sending former University of Kentucky guard Brandon Knight from the Pistons to the Milwaukee Bucks opens a spot for Peyton Siva on the Detroit Pistons' roster.

Siva, a senior on the University of Louisville's 2013 national title team, went 56th overall in this summer's NBA Draft. He played well for the Pistons in the Orlando Summer League, averaging 7.8 points and 6.0 assists as the team's starter at point guard, but had a number of more veteran point guards projected ahead of him in the rotation.
